Gloria Cruz

Open letter from Mama's grand children: Dear Mama, I was very excited to see you again when you visited. There were so many things that I wish I could've done with you and I hope I get the opportunity to do those things with you. Thank you for taking care of me and shaping me into the person I am today. I'm going to work so hard throughout life to make you proud of me. I hope I can make you proud. I don't remember much from when I was a little girl in the Philippines, but I do remember the times you would try to teach me Chinese. I wish I would've paid more attention. That would be such a cool skill to have. I also remember that you would let me watch TV while I ate dinner and as a child, that made me so happy. Thank you for everything. You've given me so much. I love you. Gabby Dear Mama, I remember when I was little I saw you take off your dentures. I, being too young to know what dentures were, asked how you did that and you told me "Its easy, just try it." and I proceeded to try to take my teeth off for at least 5 minutes. Memories like that I now cherish much more deeply than before, but if I had one wish, it would be that there were more. I've only truly spent time with you 3 times. One, when I was born and too little to remember much. Two, when I visited The Philippines about 4 or 5 years later. And three, when you came to America this past month. I wish our lives were more integrated and that I could remember you more than just these 3 instances, but I can't. However, what I can do is cherish you and the moments we spent together. I'll always remember how you would call for our dog Cupcake but say Cookies instead, or the stories you told me about The Philippines, or the times you should me how to cook. I hope you're having a good time in Heaven with the Lord and your husband. Love, Mik
